Abstract: 

In the colloquium of 28th January, we have seen the correlation between microstructure and mechanical properties. All engineered systems have to function in an environment. Surface of the material and its microstructure defines its properties in an environment. Corrosion is degradation of materials because of interaction with the environment. Each environment – material forms a system. In this colloquium, the basics of corrosion science are introduced.

Eight different mechanisms of corrosion are discussed with practical examples.

Catastrophic corrosion related failures are presented. Hydrogen embrittlement, high temperature corrosion are discussed. Finally, selection of metals and alloys for specific application is discussed. Regulations and testing is introduced.

About Dr. Ir. Vishwas Gadgil:

Dr. Ir. Vishwas Gadgil got his Ph.D from the University of Twente in 1991. He has over 35 years of experience in the fields of metallurgical engineering, material characterization and failure analysis. He has worked as a scientist at the University of Twente for 25 years. He has further worked at Siemens Oil and Gas as a Metallurgist. He currently holds the position of Technologist Materials and Nanotechnology at VDL ETG. His expertise includes joining technologies, corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement.

About the Colloquium Series:

The Materials Science & Engineering Colloquium Series provides a platform for all those who are interested in materials science, whether you are a student, researcher at MESA+, faculty member, or working in industry. During each session, a challenging case will be presented by an expert, for example from industry. All cases are based on a realistic problem where a solution was found by combining existing materials science knowledge and new insights through an experimental or materials system model approach.
